Subject: Terrific Newsreel
This footage reminded me of how interesting and informative the newsreels were in the '40s and '50s. Before TV, these were the only ways that the general public saw actual footage of current events.
I followed this link from the Wikipedia page about the USS Pittsburgh's bow's being ripped off in a typhoon during WWII. I was pleasantly surprised to see the items about the Martin seaplane (being from Baltimore) and the plane that became known as the "Spruce Goose."
